Dollar squid diagrams

This is my original dollar squid design. My favorite part is how long those two arms look without actually being that long, technically. I use that method for dollar bill insect antennae, too.
Anyway, I drew out the diagrams for it, you'll need a really fresh dollar bill.

take pictures! I don't think anyone has ever folded a model of mine before, it'll be neat.

Extra note: the fins and body are shaped a little differently in the photograph than in the written diagrams. It's up to you to shape it as you think a squid should look.

I FINALLY got around to folding this. I am sorry for the delay. This is a very fun model. Many folds are boring and only a select few have an enjoyment to the folds. This is definitely one of the fun ones.

The reason it took so long to fold. I CANNOT find a single dollar bill (I live in Canada) and for a few weeks have been searching for a dollar bill to no avail. So I decided tonight to fold it from letter paper. So I will post pics after and it will not be as good as the note folds but it is folded properly as far as I can see.

Thanks everybody! Maybe I'll put up a new diagram soon, if you don't mind more hand-drawn stuff. I haven't touched any of the computer programs yet.
